More “Precious Connection” Girls

A couple of months ago, I happened to notice that the Compassion International website had a lot of children available from the same project that our Precious in Ghana attends. I have a real heart for Precious, as our first Compassion child, and for the project, which puts a LOT of effort into establishing a connection through letter writing. They tend to be reciprocal with their letters, meaning that they will send one for every one they receive. With English as the official language, there is no wait time for translation and letters seem to get from point A to point B in 3 to 4 weeks.

When I posted info and links to the children a few months ago, I was blown away at how God worked to get all of the children sponsored in just a couple of days. In fact, I had some people contact me afterwards, hoping that there were more children waiting from the project. At that time, there weren’t.

Well, today, I happened to look and found two more sweet girls from Precious’ project who are looking for sponsors. Both girls have been waiting over six months.

Agartha will be turning six next week and I know it would be such a blessing for her to be sponsored for her birthday!

Evelyn is listed as living with both parents and she likes reading, so you could send her some books to encourage her love of learning!

I would be so happy if any of you would be interested in sharing this “Precious Connection” with our family, and sponsor children in the same project. If you do decide to sponsor one of these girls, please let me know and I would love to send you a Family Sponsorship Kit which has a lot of ideas to help you and your family make the most of your sponsorship!

(If you do sponsor one of these girls could you do me a favor and type “source code: 110182” into the Special Instructions box when you finalize it one the Compassion page? It helps the Compassion headquarters keep track of how/where sponsorships are generated. Thank you!)

You are so lucky. I have friends that want to sponsor from the same project as our oldest child. Although the pastor from that project wrote and said that there were 11 unsponsored children, I have never found any of them available on the website!

Good luck with your Precious Connection! If there is anyone who can get them sponsored, it's you!

i'm still awaiting my sponsor packet from comapssion for our first child in uganda. how do i find out if my child's letters will be reciprocal? i know that english is the official language there so it gives me hope that turn time on letters will be faster than if translation were needed but i'd be very curious to know what to expect when it comes to how many letters we will receive. i see that you have a child in uganda as well so hopefully you can give me an idea how often you hear back from them. thanks!

Melissa, I don't believe that Uganda is reciprocal. Madina has only been in our family for just a couple of months. I would ask on OurCompassion. (http://www.ourcompassion.com) I know they have recently discussed which countries are reciprocal.
